LZ: Eisenhower was tough on immigration, revamped American infrastructure, and took on corruption in Washington.
A Republican president who never held elected office wins by running against waste and corruption in Washington, carrying states GOP nominees don’t normally win — then deports illegal immigrants, takes American infrastructure to new heights, rattles defense contractors and fills his Cabinet with former CEOs and generals.
That Republican president was Dwight Eisenhower.
Supporters of President-Elect Donald Trump have routinely compared him to President Ronald Reagan, particularly since winning. Then again, Republicans compared President George W. Bush to Reagan.
Eisenhower was the only living president my father ever praised.
He served under him in two theaters during WWII, then again in occupied Germany.
Ike is spinning in his grave over what Colombia has become.
Dad was quite reticent with any praise, that’s good enough for me.
I have been saying this the last three months!
after obama, just trump loving America is good enough for me.
Eisenhower was chosen over Patton because he was more affable.
I’ve always liked Ike (as did my Dad).
Drove through Kansas just to honor him and in recognition of our glorious Interstate System
So President Trump can be a combination of the two greatest 20th Century Presidents -President Eisenagan.
Ike was a pretty darned good President (and probably underrated) when I was born in 1953. Hopefully Trump can be a better or greater President, Trump sure as hell is making barry look bad and he’s still got around 336 hrs. (2 weeks at noon EST) or so to go before he’s gone for good.
Excellent article. I like that it mentioned HOW the illgal alien bloodsuckers were deported – via ship and sailed way fuckin’ south to the southern reaches of Mexico in order to make it harder for the illegal alien bloodsuckers to go north and try again.
Some pearl-clutching asshole put out an article saying that deporting illegals would be too expensive. Probably a Concern Troll hoping that negative nellyism would forestall the deportation process before it got started. But right now they are deported by plane or bus to the nearest Mexican spot they can dump them off at. Of course that’s expensive. Use some old troopships out of the mothball fleet – some really rusted-out shitbuckets with no lifejackets – and slow-steam these muthafuckas south. I’d prefer south to Cape Horn but Tierra Del Fuego will do in a pinch. And here’s the reply the ConcernTroll should have gotten – deporting the illegal bloodsuckers might be expensive but allowing them to stay is ten times more expensive to us taxpayers. Look at the cost to our court systems, school systems, hospitals (“no tengo dinero”), law enforcement, insurance industry (high auto premiums dictated by all the no-insurance drunk driving beaners), and worst of all – stealing jobs from our American citizens.
